Adc k8c cartridge

This reasonably priced cartridge installed easily and works great on my Sanyo turntable.

Great cartridge for the price

Currently there are so many fakes amongst the stylus replacement offerings for the ADC cartridges that I found it a smarter buy to purchase this premounted cartridge set.
The biggest surprise I got is that by using the "fast" shipping option, I actually received this cartridge in ONE day! It shipped from NV to WI.
The sound of this cartridge is easy going and quite smooth. As you can expect at this price point, there is not as much silky, sparkling highs as a $200 cartridge. There will be a bit of IGD with super complicated music on SOME records. 90% of the albums I have sound relaxed, smooth, and balanced. Well worth the money and helps the buyer to avoid the "fakester" stylus replacements.

The little stylus that could..and then some!

When I got this I thought I had overspent and had just paid 150 bucks for the 70 dollar model with a stylus guard. I was hoping for the best, expecting mehh, and got the closest to sonic nirvana I've yet to experience! I am simply a music lover, I haven't the experience or the budget to be an audiophile , but wow this little cartridge can sing! I have the carbon fidelity, the nss divine, this is noticeably better even to my untrained ears. If you are using the at3600 cartridge, strongly consider this stylus before you change to a different cartridge. It really is that good!

Needles

Excellent quality
Prompt delivery and tracking.

New Belt

Turntable belt fits perfectly as described!

Soundesign stylus Mdel 6821

Stylus fit, the weight was light i ended up having to use a similar stylus that was heavier and for an Emerson.
The lighter stylus allowed the arm to float across the album.

Works good

D51 type stylus works fine

Looks & Sounds like the Original

Arrived well packed although I was concerned that it didn’t have the little cover over the needle that a new stylus often has. But once installed it sounded good!

Thorens Replacement Belt

Belt is more robust than old belt. Highly recommended.

Giant Killer

If you have an OM body, base or Super, you owe it to yourself to get this stylus. It plays WAY above its price range! I am still breaking it in, but wow! On new vinyl it is dead quiet. No pops, background noise or hisses. Plays music from top to bottom without me missing any midrange.
I have 3 different versions of these, shure n75ed2, at 3600l, now this ortofon version which could become my favorite. Buy these and get a good phono stage ( I am using an old nad 7140) and stop worrying about expensive cartridges! An absolute jem!
